Opeth is one of the most important names in the new era of metal,a Swedish group that combined progressive metal with extreme metal,folk and jazz into an unique sound.Therefore,it was not easy for me to make this list because all their albums are masterpieces and every release may be regarded as their best.

This is my personal selection of albums (with specific songs) that you'd like to play in your next metal party.
The songs are sorted so the more powerful and energetic songs are equally spread all along the list, except the last songs, which are softer than average.

I'm currently working in this list (well... in my spare time), so it's not the final one.

These are my bakers-dozen favourite album covers - those that really stand out for me from my collection (although at the time of making there was one that hasn't yet been released). These are all albums that I really like, musically, so that has been a factor in the selection. Comments welcomed.
